Welcome to the US highway system.

My drive to the university from home was 152mi.

Publicly traded company shareholders, baby!

Any project worth its salt is privately held or FOSS lol

I think a lot of that depends on platform though. If you’re having electron apps like Discord active on your desktop the whole time, memory usage will be a constant issue for you.

I replaced a lot of my proprietary software with FOSS suites that run locally (with the exception of Steam and GOG launchers that I don’t have running in the background), and I haven’t had any issues with memory since.

Plus, using Ublock Origin on a Firefox fork tends to prevent junk from loading in the first place while browsing the web (and saves a shit ton of ram)

Nah, with 4gb you can get away with most linux distros with XFCE, and you could even do some indie gaming. Plus, using ChromeOS means you’re expected to have a network connection at all times (which makes things like using office suites locally a pain).

Mullvad and Aurora seems to work fine on GrapheneOS, not sure if some VPNs are just blacklisted more

Try using PrismLauncher since it allows you to apply java window size commands before game launch (and load additional fixes if you need those due to some strange config).

1.13 had something called the Flattening, but that’s related to item IDs and a general overhaul to the base game code. I doubt much was twisted graphically there.

I’d say it’s more of a dedicated following that just isn’t viral. Keep in mind crossplay means that the steam charts aren’t an accurate barometer by themselves.

Most of the devs from the Bad Company era left EA to form Embark Studios - maybe check out their games like The Finals?
